All of this in the palm of your hand…

Abu Dhabi Taxi

When you’re out in the capital, you’ll have seen these silver icons of convenience zipping around town. If it happens to be a busy day or there are just one too many riders around, you’ll need to pre-book one. Download the Abu Dhabi Taxi app on Google Play or the App Store, and you’re on your way for an additional Dhs4 booking charge.
Quick tip: Stick your arm out to hail one, only if the little box at the top is lit in yellow or green. The red strip of lights means the cab’s occupied.
